Labor Unions

Currently, there are NO union members within Patrick County's industrial base.

Virginia is one of the least unionized of the more industrial states. three major reasons for this are the State's Right to Work Law, the importance of manufacturing industries, such as textiles, apparel, electrical machinery, and lumber, which are not highly organized in Virginia, and the importance of federal civilian and military employment. Typically, the percentage of non-agricultural employees who belong to unions in Virginia has been approximately one-half of the U.S. average.
